Redis uses `/etc/redis/redis.conf` for configuration:
- We adjust this file when enabling the internal Redis service.
- If you have an external instance of Redis to use, the internal Redis service can be opt-out via setting the ENV [`ENABLE_RSPAMD_REDIS=0`](../environment.md#enable_rspamd_redis) (_link also details required changes to the DMS Rspamd config_).

### Web Interface
Rspamd provides a [web interface][rspamd-docs::web-interface], which contains statistics and data Rspamd collects. The interface is enabled by default and reachable on port 11334.

![Rspamd Web Interface](https://rspamd.com/img/webui.png)
To use the web interface you will need to configure a password, [otherwise you won't be able to log in][rspamd-docs::web-ui::password].
??? example "Set a custom password"
Add this line to [your rspamd `custom-commands.conf` config](#with-the-help-of-a-custom-file) which sets the `password` option of the _controller worker_:
```
set-option-for-controller password "your hashed password here"
```
The password hash can be generated via the `rspamadm pw` command:
```bash
docker exec -it <CONTAINER_NAME> rspamadm pw
```
### DNS
DMS does not supply custom values for DNS servers (to Rspamd). If you need to use custom DNS servers, which could be required when using [DNS-based deny/allowlists](#rbls-real-time-blacklists-dnsbls-dns-based-blacklists), you need to adjust [`options.inc`][rspamd-docs::basic-options] yourself. Make sure to also read our [FAQ page on DNS servers][docs::faq::dns-servers].

#### RBLs (Real-time Blacklists) / DNSBLs (DNS-based Blacklists)
The [RBL module](https://rspamd.com/doc/modules/rbl.html) is enabled by default. As a consequence, Rspamd will perform DNS lookups to various blacklists. Whether an RBL or a DNSBL is queried depends on where the domain name was obtained: RBL servers are queried with IP addresses extracted from message headers, DNSBL server are queried with domains and IP addresses extracted from the message body \[[source][www::rbl-vs-dnsbl]\].

!!! danger "Rspamd and DNS Block Lists"
When the RBL module is enabled, Rspamd will do a variety of DNS requests to (amongst other things) DNSBLs. There are a variety of issues involved when using DNSBLs. Rspamd will try to mitigate some of them by properly evaluating all return codes. This evaluation is a best effort though, so if the DNSBL operators change or add return codes, it may take a while for Rspamd to adjust as well.
If you want to use DNSBLs, **try to use your own DNS resolver** and make sure it is set up correctly, i.e. it should be a non-public & **recursive** resolver. Otherwise, you might not be able ([see this Spamhaus post](https://www.spamhaus.org/faq/section/DNSBL%20Usage#365)) to make use of the block lists.
